I love a homemade gift. This is because I know the person who made the gift put a lot of time and effort into the gift they choose for me. Homemade treats takes time and you may put a lot of work into these gifts, but in the end, they are worth it! Here is a list of 7 easiest treats to make and give away, this holiday! ## 1. Santa Truffles ![Santa Truffles](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/12/7-best-homemade-holiday-treats/santa-truffles_7-best-homemade-holiday-treats_499x488.jpg) Image source: [farm3.static.flickr.com](https://farm3.static.flickr.com/2528/4075678147_e45dd6a98b.jpg) Use pre-made truffles and dip them in melted chocolate. Dab a small amount of pink frosting, flatten mini marshmallows to use for the beard. Cut a red fruit slice in half to use for the hat and mini vanilla chips for the trim. Use a mini red M&M for a nose and mini chocolate chips for the eyes. ## 2. Reindeer Truffles ![Reindeer Truffles](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/12/7-best-homemade-holiday-treats/reindeer-truffles_7-best-homemade-holiday-treats_500x500.jpg) Image source: [img4.allyou.com](https://www.southernliving.com/home/all-you-southern-living) Again, use a pre-made truffle and dip in melted chocolate. Use mini pretzels for the antlers and a red mini M&M for the nose. Mini chocolate chips make perfect eyes. ## 3. Candy Trees ![Candy Trees](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/12/7-best-homemade-holiday-treats/candy-trees_7-best-homemade-holiday-treats_500x290.jpg) Image source: [ecx.images-amazon.com](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/513bpRlXBBL.jpg) Crush a handful of peppermint candy canes. Use a Christmas tree candy mold and place the peppermints in the bottom. Cover with white, melted chocolate. When hardened, remove from mold and place in a mini tub filled with red and green M&M’s. ## 4. Pretzel Fun ![Pretzel Fun](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/12/7-best-homemade-holiday-treats/pretzel-fun_7-best-homemade-holiday-treats_500x333.jpg) Image source: [s3prod.weheartit.netdna-cdn.com](https://goo.gl/cLZJl6) Melt white chocolate and dip mini pretzels in the chocolate. Roll in red or green sprinkles. Arrange in a mini tub and cover the entire set in clear plastic wrap. Tie with red and green ribbon. ## 5. Santa Pretzels ![Santa Pretzels](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/12/7-best-homemade-holiday-treats/santa-pretzels_7-best-homemade-holiday-treats_500x500.jpg) Image source: [img4.allyou.com](https://www.southernliving.com/home/all-you-southern-living) You can make Santa pretzels the same way as above, except use mini marshmallows for the beard, mini red M&M’s for a nose and mini red gum drops for a hat. ## 6. Mini Mittens ![Mini Mittens](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/12/7-best-homemade-holiday-treats/mini-mittens_7-best-homemade-holiday-treats_500x332.jpg) Image source: [farm4.static.flickr.com](https://farm4.static.flickr.com/3109/3131308367_0e02d987b6.jpg) This cue decoration is quick and easy! Use a child size mitten as a pattern and use the material from one of your children’s baby outfits. Make two mittens and attach together with yarn. I did this with an outfit from my youngest son and we hang it on the Christmas tree every year. This is also nice to give to grandparents as a gift. ## 7. Photo Ornaments _ Image source: farm2.static.flickr.com_ This is an easy way to capture a memory every year. Snap photos on Christmas morning and use the best, or funniest, or sweetest ones for a keepsake ornament for grandma and grandpa or aunts and uncles next year. These are gifts that will never be thrown away and they will always be appreciated and loved. I hope at least one of these ideas has inspired you to get busy and make a unique gift this year for your family and friends. Which one did you like the most?
